Instinct

Pros: Sir Anthony Hopkins, Cuba Gooding Jr., and a subtle script whose subtlety isn't immediately apparent.

Cons: A host of bad reviews by viewers with preconceptions or expectations that weren't met.

The Bottom Line: My final recommendation is not to miss Hopkins and Gooding at their best!

Review: I don't care what others say, but you already knew that anyhow. Movies are primarily made for entertainment. If they can entertain while conveying a message of moral truth, so much the better. It's even good if they can be made from a book and still...

Pros: Two of the best actors in Hollywood in one movie.

Cons: Might be a little slow for some viewers.

The Bottom Line: As far as suspenseful dramas go: It doesn't get much better than this.

Review: Out of all of the junk movies that comes from the film industry, every now and then a great original story floats to the surface. Let's face it, how many stories are out there? How many different variations of the same storyline can the public take....

Pros: Hopkins great as always, secondary actors good, intense story

Cons: I loved every bit of it, younger viewers might not though

The Bottom Line: I don't care what's been done before, this film was solid gold from beginning to end and I can't get enough of it

Review: Dr. Ethan Powell (Anthony Hopkins) was a respected scientist and researcher who went to live in Africa and study gorillas…that is, until he went missing. Now he’s been found two years later and confined in a Florida institution for the criminally insane ...

Pros: Bravo! Fantastic movie!!

Cons: None..absolutely none.

Review: What drives a man to commit a crime? Or is it a crime?
As this movie unfolds, we are asked to look at our beliefs, our own "instincts."
Excellently written, directed and acted.
Donald Sutherland both teacher and mentor of Cuba...

Pros: best movie to come along in ages

Cons: too much for young audiences

Review: When my boyfriend and I saw this movie at Blockbuster, I was not sure what to think. He was dying to see it. I was at least intrigued by Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding Jr. being in the same movie. So since I am a fan of both, I decided ok. I had no...

Pros: brave script, strong directing, both great and good acting, fine score by Danny Elfman

Cons: few worth stressing

Review: I am very much pleased and entertained by Jon Turteltaub's film "Instinct" (1999). This is a production that both stirs our primal senses and challenges our so-called civilized perception of reality.

The movie stars Sir Anthony...

Pros: Great movie

Cons: Nothing Really

The Bottom Line: Earth day is a very important day and should be respected.

Review: Many people will be wondering why I decided to pick this movie for the Earth Day writeoff. Well there are two reasons, one is because I really wasn't sure what else to write about, and another reason, the major reason, was because that this movie shows...

Pros: Well written, excellent performances

Cons: Couldn't really pinpoint anything specific

Review: In celebration of the year 2000, my family and I watched videos the past few nights and Instinct with Anthony Hopkins and Cuba Gooding, Jr. was one of them. It was an outstanding film and not what I expected. I thought, perhaps, it would be more...

Pros: GrEaT oVeRaLl

Cons: none

Review: ...if everything you thought was your reality was simply a fabrication of what someone else wanted you to think. Sometimes we question our existance and the purpose of it. When in fact it should be those presenting those existancies to us that we should...

Pros: Instinct has great acting, great writing, and is one of the most important movies of all time.

Cons: They could have been a little more careful not to leave themselves so open to "derivative" claims.

Review: Resident psychiatrist Theo Caulder(Cuba Gooding Jr.) is assigned to research a case about an anthropologist, who after living with Apes for 2 years, committed murder. The reluctant young man learns about the case, and instantly becomes enthralled,...
